William Keith Anderson

William (Bill) Keith Anderson, was born on March 15, 1948 to Forrest and Viola Anderson in Bliss, New York.  He went to join his family in heaven on March 7, 2015 from his home in Mineral Wells, Texas.    We can only hope that our journey here on earth will touch as many people as Bill did.  He never said unkind words, he always showed love to his family and friends.  Whether he was playing with his grandchildren, great-grandchildren or cherishing time with  his wife, he always had those loving eyes and a calmness about him.  He was strong when he needed to be and was never afraid to show his love.
